Relaxed Family and Leisurely Weekend Activities: Stress-free Routines for Parenting with Kids
Having a separate toilet in a van offers significant benefits for families during travel, providing convenience, hygiene, privacy, water and chemical savings, and improved comfort.
Key benefits include:
- Convenience and privacy: A dedicated toilet inside the van allows family members to use the bathroom anytime, especially helpful during nighttime or in remote areas, avoiding trips outside or dependence on external facilities. This is particularly important for families with young children or babies, as it simplifies managing quick bathroom needs.
- Hygiene and comfort: Having a private toilet reduces reliance on public or campground restrooms, which may be less clean or accessible. For babies and small children, this can be especially important to maintain cleanliness and comfort.
- Water savings and eco-friendliness: Many van toilets, such as composting toilets, require no water and use no chemicals. This reduces water consumption and the need to purchase and handle harsh cassette chemicals, making waste management eco-friendly and low maintenance.
- Minimal odor and low maintenance: Composting toilets separate and compost waste biologically, significantly limiting unpleasant smells inside the van. They also have few moving parts, so require minimal upkeep, which is ideal for families on the move.
- Enhanced van layout and travel experience: A separate toilet can be integrated into family-friendly van layouts with sleeping and play areas, helping organize daily routines better and increasing the overall comfort and enjoyment on trips.
Using the BOXIO Toilet
BOXIO-HEMP should be used as needed for spreading. The routine for using the box is simple: turn on the light, use it, lift up the lid, ventilate, and wipe. BOXIO - CLEAN or mild alternatives can be used for cleaning, and the box should be dried well.
The Family Kit
The family kit includes BOXIO-BIO Bags, BOXIO-HEMP, tissues, gloves, cleaning spray, a mini-light/night light, privacy screen (curtain or tent from SANITARY PLUS), spare change of clothes, and a small sign with the routine for kids.
Educating Kids
To explain the usage to kids, a short routine can be given: lift the lid, top up, fold down the insert after emptying - done. Assigning roles, following the same order, and giving positive feedback can help make the routine accessible for children.
Choosing the Right BOXIO Toilet
The BOXIO-TOILET is compact, and BOXIO MAX offers more seat height. Choose based on storage space and van size. For families seeking a complete bathroom solution, there is a BOXIO SANITARY PLUS option that combines toilet, washing, and privacy, making it ideal for families.
